Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of steel slag tailings magnetic separation recovery, in particular to a steel slag tailings iron recovery process based on dry magnetic separation. BACKGROUND
[0002] As one of the largest industrial solid wastes in the steel smelting process (annual emissions exceed 100 million tons), the total iron grade of steel slag tailings is usually 18-25%, but the iron resources are mostly in the form of weakly magnetic iron oxide (such as Fe2O3, FeO(OH)) and Fe2O3・SiO2 solid solution that is difficult to dissociate. The magnetic rate of such weakly magnetic iron phase is generally lower than 30%, which cannot be effectively captured by conventional magnetic separation equipment, resulting in about 40-50% of iron resources being wasted with tailings - causing "resource loss" of steel enterprises, and causing serious environmental management problems due to land occupation and leachate pollution of soil and groundwater.
[0003] The current steel slag tailings iron extraction process in the industry is mainly divided into two categories, but its technical drawbacks have become the core bottleneck restricting industrial application: I. Wet magnetic separation process: double constraints of resource consumption and environmental pressure Although wet magnetic separation can improve the iron recovery rate to 75-80% through "water medium dispersion + high gradient magnetic field", it has three fatal defects: Strong dependence on water resources, poor regional applicability: 2.5-3.0 m³ of fresh water is needed per ton of tailings, which faces the dilemma of "no water available" in arid and semi-arid areas in the north; and in winter, the process pipeline and equipment are prone to freeze in low temperature environment, resulting in a reduction in the annual effective production time to 8-10 months, which seriously affects the production continuity; High cost of wastewater treatment, and high environmental protection risk: the wastewater produced after magnetic separation contains a large amount of suspended solids (SS≥500 mg / L) and heavy metal ions (such as Cr, Pb), which requires additional coagulation, sedimentation, and filtration equipment for treatment, with a cost of 8-12 yuan per ton of wastewater, accounting for 15-20% of the total cost of the production line; if the treatment does not meet the emission standards, environmental penalties will also be faced; High energy consumption for subsequent drying, poor economic efficiency: the moisture content of the magnetic separation concentrate is usually 20-25%, which needs to consume additional electric energy or steam to dry to a moisture content of ≤8%, with an increase of 50-80 kW・h of energy consumption per ton of concentrate, further compressing the profit space of enterprises.
[0004] II. Existing dry magnetic separation process: low efficiency of iron extraction and energy utilization In order to avoid the water resource problem of the wet process, the existing dry magnetic separation process has emerged, but the technical shortcomings are more prominent: Low iron recovery rate, unable to meet the industrial demand: Limited by the processing mode of "fixed magnetic field (≤2.0T) + simple crushing", the material dispersion is poor (the proportion of particles of -0.074mm is only 40-50%), the weak magnetic iron phase is not fully dissociated, the iron recovery rate is generally lower than 65%, and the iron concentrate grade is only 45-55%, which is difficult to meet the requirements of blast furnace ironmaking on iron concentrate "grade ≥60%, SiO2≤3%"; Poor adaptability of reduction roasting, serious energy waste: The existing reduction process mostly adopts the mode of "single temperature (750-800℃) + pure electric energy heating" - which cannot match the differentiated needs of Fe2O3 (which needs 700-750℃ reduction), FeO(OH) (which needs to be decomposed at 650-700℃ first), Fe2O3・SiO2 (which needs to break the Si-O bond at 800-850℃), resulting in a weak magnetic iron conversion rate of only 80-85%; and the electric energy consumption accounts for 70-80% of the total energy consumption of the process; Low degree of tailings resource utilization, serious secondary waste: The tailings after magnetic separation (iron grade of 8-12%) are mostly simply used as roadbed fillers or directly stored, without further recovery of the micro-nano iron (particle size <1μm), Fe2SiO4 and other refractory iron phases remaining in the tailings, and without developing high-value utilization paths, causing secondary resource waste, which is inconsistent with the policy guidance of national solid waste full utilization.
[0005] In summary, the existing process is either limited by water resources and region, or trapped in low efficiency and high energy consumption, and cannot achieve the coordinated goals of high recovery rate, low energy consumption, environmental protection and full resource utilization. Therefore, developing a dry magnetic separation process that can adapt to different iron phase tailings, break through the bottleneck of weak magnetic iron recovery, efficiently utilize energy and realize full resource utilization of tailings has become a key technical problem to be solved in the field of solid waste resource utilization in the steel industry. SUMMARY
[0006] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problems raised in the background art, and a steel slag tailings iron recovery process based on dry magnetic separation is proposed.
[0007] The technical scheme adopted by the present application to solve its technical problems is: A steel slag tailings iron recovery process based on dry magnetic separation, comprising the following steps: S1: raw material pretreatment and targeted reduction reinforcement Steel slag tailings (total iron grade 18-25%, containing Fe2O3, Fe3O4, FeO(OH), Fe2O3・SiO2) with particle size ≤10 mm are first pre-removed from strong magnetic impurities by a 0.8-1.2T permanent magnet separator, and then superfine ground to -0.074 mm accounting for ≥75% by a rod mill-airflow pulverizer combination; mixed according to a mass ratio of steel slag tailings: carbonaceous reducing agent: targeted reducing agent: dispersant = 100:(8-12):(0.5-1.5):(0.2-0.5), the carbonaceous reducing agent is a compound of coal powder with fixed carbon ≥50% and biomass charcoal, the targeted reducing agent is selected from at least two of Na2CO3, CaO, and MnO2, and the dispersant is triethanolamine; mixed uniformly by a double screw mixer combined with a 20-40kHz ultrasonic dispersion device, with a uniformity of ≥96%; S2: Gradient roasting and waste heat coupled targeted reduction The mixed material in S1 is sent into an internal heating rotary kiln, and is sequentially gradient roasted at 650-700°C (heat preservation for 15-20 min to decompose FeO(OH)), 700-750°C (heat preservation for 20-30 min to reduce Fe2O3), and 750-800°C (heat preservation for 10-15 min to break the Fe2O3・SiO2 solid solution); the 450-500°C flue gas from the roasting section is introduced into a targeted reduction reactor and reversely contacted with the material, the temperature of the targeted reduction reactor is maintained at 750-800°C by heat exchange coils, and high-temperature flue gas-low-pressure steam double heat source driven carbon reduction is realized, with a weak magnetic iron conversion rate of ≥96%; the roasting energy is coupled by converter gas (70-80% share) and biomass fuel (20-30% share); S3: Low-temperature drying and cooling and waste heat gradient preheating After roasting, the material in S2 is first introduced into a heat pipe heat exchanger, and is exchanged with 200-250°C waste gas discharged from the targeted reduction section, the material is reduced from 800°C to 400-450°C, and the waste gas is increased to 280-320°C; the heated waste gas is divided into two paths: one path (60-70% share) is used for preheating and drying before raw material grinding (to reduce the water content of the tailings from 15-20% to 8-10%), and the other path (30-40% share) is introduced into a hot blast furnace to assist biomass fuel combustion; the material is then introduced into a nitrogen-protected cooling device (one of a conveying type air cooling bed, a drum type cooler, or a fluidized bed cooler), and is cooled to 45-60°C at a rate of 15-30°C / min, and the sensible heat (temperature 200-250°C) of the material is recovered by the built-in heat exchange pipe during the cooling process, and is used for drying the composite carbon reducing agent, and finally the water content of the material is ≤4%; S4: Multistage dry magnetic separation and purification The cooling material in S3 is first coarsely selected by a 1.8-2.5T drum-type high-intensity magnetic separator, and the coarse selection concentrate is classified by a high-frequency vibrating screen with a size of 100-150 meshes, and the oversize material (particle size >0.074mm) is returned to a rod mill for regrinding, and the undersize material is a primary iron concentrate (grade 65-72%); the coarse selection tailings are finely selected by a 2.5-3.0T flat-type high-gradient magnetic separator, and when the proportion of strong magnetic iron is <55% or the proportion of particles with a particle size <0.045mm is >30% is monitored by a laser particle size instrument combined with a magnetic flux sensor, the magnetic field strength is automatically increased by 0.3-0.5T and the material flow rate is reduced to 0.2-0.3m / s, and the fine selection concentrate is a secondary iron concentrate (grade 58-65%), and the fine selection tailings have an iron grade of 4-8%; S5: Iron extraction by acid leaching of the magnetic separation tailings The fine selection tailings are mixed with steel plant pickling waste liquid (containing H2SO4 (15-20%)) at a liquid-solid ratio of 3-5:1, 0.5-1% H2O2 is added as an oxidizing agent, and the leaching is carried out at 70-80℃, 250-300r / min for 40-60min; NH4HCO3 is added to adjust the pH to 3.5-4.5, and FeCO 3; FeCO3 is calcined for 20-30min using the residual heat (350-400℃) to obtain a tertiary iron concentrate (grade ≥60%); S6: Recovery of residual heat in a closed loop The 820-880℃ flue gas (flue gas volume 18000-22000Nm³ / h) from the gradient calcination section is converted into 1.8MPa, 340℃ superheated steam by a water-tube type residual heat boiler, and the steam is divided into four paths: (1) 45-55% is sent to an acid pickling waste liquid preheater (the waste liquid at room temperature is heated to 65-75℃, saving heating energy by 40-50%); (2) 30-35% is sent to a back pressure steam turbine (power 180-250kW) to generate electricity, and the power supply accounts for 30-40% of the total process energy consumption (700-900kW); (3) 10-15% is used for the dissolution and heating (temperature 80-90℃) of a Na2CO3-CaCO3 mixed agent; (4) 5-10% is used for the recovery and regeneration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (heated to 100-110℃, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid recovery rate ≥80%); the 95-105℃ condensate water produced after steam heat exchange is all used for hot water leaching preparation of leaching residues, and the water resource recovery rate is ≥92%; the temperature, flow rate and reagent addition amount of each residual heat node are controlled by a PLC system, the energy comprehensive utilization rate is ≥60%, the dust emission is ≤3mg / m³, SO2≤35mg / Nm³, NO X ≤50mg / Nm³.
[0008] Further, the targeted reducing agent in S1 is regulated according to Fe phase, when the proportion of FeO (OH) is greater than 30%, the addition amount of Na2CO3 is 1.2-1.5%, and when the proportion of Fe2O3・SiO2 is greater than 25%, CaO and MnO2 are compounded and added (mass ratio 1:1).
[0009] Further, the undersize of the high-frequency vibrating screen in S4 is removed by wet low-intensity magnetic separation, 0.3-0.5% Na2SiO3 inhibitor is added, and the magnetic field strength is 1.5-2.0T, so that the SiO2 content of the final iron concentrate is ≤1.8%.
[0010] Further, the leaching solution in S5 is first captured by a nano-magnetic seed capture device (magnetic seed particle size 50-100nm, magnetic field strength 0.3-0.5T) to capture micro-nano iron, and then NH4HCO3 is added to adjust the pH to 3.5-4.5, wherein the magnetic seed of the nano-magnetic seed capture device is a surface-modified Fe3O4 nanoparticle (the surface modification process of the nano-magnetic seed is: Fe3O4 nanoparticles are added to 0.5-1% hydroxyapatite solution (liquid-solid ratio 10:1), stirred at 60-70°C and 150-200r / min for 30-40min, and then filtered and dried to obtain magnetic seeds coated with hydroxyapatite, with a particle size of 50-100nm, coated with hydroxyapatite on the surface, and a zeta potential of -30~-40mV), and the magnetic seed dosage is dynamically adjusted according to the content of micro-nano iron in the leaching solution (0.8-1.2g of magnetic seed is added for every 1g of micro-nano iron); the magnetic capture section uses a 0.3-0.5T gradient magnetic field (the magnetic field strength increases linearly from 0.3T to 0.5T along the fluid flow direction), the fluid flow rate is controlled at 0.5-1.0m / s, and the residence time is 8-12s; the magnetic seed-micro-nano iron composite particles formed after magnetic capture are intercepted by a 100-150 mesh filter screen and sent to a magnetic seed regeneration unit; the regeneration unit is first cleaned by 25-40kHz ultrasonic waves (power 500-800W, cleaning time 10-15min) to remove surface-attached iron oxides, and then separated by 3000-5000r / min centrifugation (separation time 8-10min) to obtain regenerated magnetic seeds with a purity of ≥98%, and the separated iron mud is mixed with FeCO3.
[0011] Further, the acid leaching residue (iron grade 1.5-3%, containing Fe2SiO4) in S5 is mixed with sodium carbonate (mass ratio 100:8-12) (the mixing of the leaching residue and sodium carbonate is carried out by using a double-shaft paddle mixer (rotation speed 200-250 r / min), and the uniformity of mixing is greater than or equal to 96%), and after the mixing is completed, the mixture is sent into a vertical roasting furnace driven by residual heat of roasting (the flue gas at a gradient roasting section of 500-550 DEG C is used for heating), and is roasted at 800-850 DEG C for 40-60 min, so that Fe2SiO4 is converted into soluble Na2FeO2; the roasting product is leached with hot water at 80-90 DEG C (the sensible heat at 200-250 DEG C recovered in a cooling section is used for heating) for 30-40 min, and then filtration is carried out to obtain a leaching solution containing FeO2² - , dilute sulfuric acid is added to adjust the pH to 2.5-3.0, and Fe(OH)3 is precipitated and obtained, and then is roasted at 350-400 DEG C (using residual heat of FeCO3 roasting) to be converted into a fourth-grade iron concentrate (grade greater than or equal to 58%).
[0012] Further, 0.3-0.5% zinc dihydrogen phosphate double-layer slow-release agents (inner layer of a reducing agent, outer layer of a passivation agent, diameter 4-6 mm, slow-release rate of the reducing agent 0.15-0.25 g / min, and the passivation agent is released at 400-450 DEG C to avoid early reaction with the reducing agent and failure.
[0013] Further, the nitrogen gas (150-180 DEG C) preheated by residual heat of a roasting section is introduced to prevent oxidation while the double-screw mixer is used in combination with a 20-40 kHz ultrasonic dispersion device for mixing in S1.
[0014] Further, the process is applied to the treatment of converter steel slag tailings, blast furnace dust sludge, vanadium-titanium magnetite tailings and steel slag hot smelting tailings with an iron grade of 15-30%, and is especially suitable for the treatment of difficult-to-treat solid wastes containing Fe2O3・SiO2 solid solution (accounting for 28-40%), superfine particle iron (particle size less than 1 um, accounting for 0.8-1.5%) and Fe2SiO4 (accounting for 5-10%).
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the process has the following beneficial effects: 1. Targeted reduction of iron phase precision control system of gradient roasting cooling nano magnetic seeds: According to the differentiated characteristics of Fe2O3 (which needs to be reduced at 700-750℃), FeO(OH) (which needs to be decomposed at 650-700℃), Fe2O3・SiO2 (which needs to be broken at 800-850℃), a three-stage system of pretreatment regulation-roasting matching-capture bottom is constructed-S1 accurately adds a reducing agent according to the iron phase (such as Fe2O3・SiO2 accounts for more than 25%, use CaO-MnO2 complex), S2 uses gradient temperature to reduce in stages, S5 uses nano magnetic seeds to capture the escaped micro-nano iron, and the conversion rate of weakly magnetic iron is increased from 60-70% to 94-96%; (wherein the crushing accuracy of-0.074mm accounts for more than 75% (15% higher than the conventional dry type), the conversion rate of weakly magnetic iron is more than 94% (9% higher than the conventional dry type), the nano magnetic seed capture micro-nano iron (capture rate more than 95%), and the total iron recovery rate can reach 92.3%, far exceeding the upper limit of the wet process); 2. Energy closed loop design: Constructing a full chain cycle of waste heat-process-resources, breaking through the single utilization limitation; The existing process waste heat utilization is mostly one-way output (such as only power generation or only preheating), which is not deeply coupled with the iron extraction core link and resource circulation, resulting in energy waste and additional consumption. This process forms a closed loop system through multi-node linkage: Energy-iron extraction link closed loop: Steam turbine power generation preferentially supplies high energy consumption links such as superfine crushing and magnetic separation equipment, with power supply accounting for 30-40%, reducing dependence on external power purchase; After power generation, 0.3MPa low pressure steam (133℃) is further used for heat supplement in targeted reduction reactor, avoiding waste of medium temperature waste heat; Energy-water resource closed loop: The 95-105℃ condensate water produced after steam heat exchange is all recycled for hot water leaching of leaching slag to prepare, with water resource recovery rate ≥92%, which not only utilizes condensate water waste heat (avoiding cooling energy consumption), but also reduces fresh water consumption, realizing energy-water resource collaborative saving; Energy-drug recovery closed loop: 5-10% of the superheated steam is heated to 100-110℃, which is used for EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) recovery and regeneration, with EDTA recovery rate ≥80%, avoiding additional cost and organic pollution caused by one-time consumption of drugs, and saving the separate heating energy consumption for drug recovery, forming a virtuous cycle of waste heat-drugs-environmental protection; In summary, by utilizing the gradient roasting of 800℃ flue gas, the targeted reduction of 450-500℃ waste gas, and the sensible heat of 200-250℃ in the cooling section—low-grade waste heat—to precisely match the needs of different iron extraction stages, the 800℃ flue gas generates steam to drive power generation (accounting for 30-40% of electricity supply), the 450-500℃ flue gas maintains targeted reduction, and the 200-250℃ sensible heat heats the pickling waste liquid and hot water leaching. The comprehensive energy utilization rate is ≥60%, and the energy consumption per ton of tailings is reduced from 120kW·h in conventional dry processes to 80kW·h. 3. Extreme water saving: Only a small amount of steel plant pickling waste liquid (liquid-solid ratio 3-5:1) is used in the acid leaching process, and the steam condensate recovery rate is ≥92%. The fresh water consumption per ton of tailings is reduced from 2.5-3.0m³ in the wet process to 0.8m³, completely solving the problem of "waterless iron extraction" in northern regions. 4. Leaching residue with an iron content of ≤1.5% is used for cement admixtures (the 3-day compressive strength of cement meets the standard when the admixture content is 22%), and final residue with an iron content of ≤0.8% is used for lightweight partition boards (compressive strength ≥3.9MPa). The added value of tailings is increased from 10 yuan per ton to 50-80 yuan, realizing a qualitative change from industrial solid waste to building material raw materials. Detailed Implementation
